Akuntsu Indian Language (Akunsu)

Akuntsu is a Tupi-Guarani language of South America. There are only a few tribal members remaining in Brazil who can speak the Akuntsu language, because they are the only survivors of a brutal massacre that killed the rest of the tribe in 1984. Akuntsu is an agglutinative language which uses SOV word order. Alternate spellings for the name "Akuntsu" include Akunsu, Akontsu, Akunt'su, Akuntus, and Wakontson.
